Agenda item

Members noted that, following concerns raised at the last meeting, the Comptroller and City Solicitor had agreed to accept the suggestion that, if the registrations were made within the one month period specified in the leases, then the fee would be halved to £40 (inclusive of VAT).  Furthermore, there would be no further payments for simply renewing a tenancy with the existing tenant.   In response to questions, the City Solicitor confirmed that this fee was very competitive. Members also noted that the new registration charges would apply equally to the City’s other Housing offices.   Members were very pleased with this outcome.
